Dogs are the most wonderful creatures on the Earth.
A dog will love us unconditionally and will do anything they can to please us. We love our dogs and we will give them anything to make them happy... You will be glad to make them happy and comfortable by giving them a cuddly and snuggly pillow they will love falling asleep with.

Our little Yorkie loves his pillow. He carries it everywhere and even sleeps with it. That is why Whirly Dog Supplies has decided to start manufacturing and selling various cuddle pillows for pets.

We talked with our customers and many of them have pets who have a favorite little blanket, pillow, or cuddle toy that they take everywhere with them. Over the coming weeks and months as we approach the holidays, we will be listing some fun and affordable pet accessories that you and your pet will love and cherish for years to come.

Also, be sure to watch for fun new pajamas and onesies for dogs - using designer fabrics and notions to not only keep your dog warm and comfy at night, but to make them look their best! Whirly Dog Supplies' dog clothes and pet apparel are made to last while still being affordable. Visit our Etsy store for the latest fashion pet clothing. Finally, now is a great time to shop with us - prices have never been better and we are trying to clear out last holiday season's dog clothes.

After four years of starting Whirly Dog Supplies, I am constantly coming up with new ideas, learning new ways of doing things for the benefit of our customers, and implementing new ideas and procedures to make our online store a great place shop. In the past two years Whirly Dog Supplies is becoming more of a boutique for dog and pet owners, mainly small to medium sized dogs.

At the end of 2014 we started making new styles of dog clothes and using designer named fabrics, such as Marc Jacobs and Oscar De La Renta. Now we will be taking a look at packaging for shipping.
Previously, I have always wrapped the pet apparel orders in tissue paper which looked nice, tissue paper is great for shipping as it adds a little protection for transit, and keeps the fabrics at the proper humidity so they will be fresh and beautiful when delivered. I have decided to start adding just a little more to make the packaging look more appealing. I will continue to wrap the orders in tissue paper - but now they will be tied up (like a present, sort of) with twine, yarn, ribbon, etc. The final step will be to attach a sticker, tag, or small card saying, "Thank You".

When someone shops with Whirly Dog Supplies, I want them to feel as though they left a fun and fancy little boutique, not a "pet store". I love making dog clothes and I am passionate about the comfort, style, and quality of the dog clothes I make - so now that will be seen in the packaging as well.

I would love to hear from my readers with thoughts and ideas on what, as a pet/dog owner, you would like to have done to better our store.

Be sure to visit our site at http://www.whirlydogsupplies.com to see new products, sales and promotions, and news about our company.

First and foremost - I can't stress the importance of keeping your pet safe over the 4th of July Holiday. In our (and most) neighborhoods, kids and adults start setting off fireworks and having parties the week prior to Independence Day and through the week following. If you have to take your dog outside, as many of us do for potty breaks, walks, or family gatherings... please be mindful of how they may react to smells, noises, and visual attractions!

As an example, we have two dogs - One senior 14 year old Maltese and one young 2 year old Yorkie. Both have polar opposite behaviors when it comes to people, sounds, smells, and visual stimuli.

Whirly - our senior boy is not bothered very much by anything. He is slow moving and is not easily scared or distracted. For him, we just keep in indoors as much as possible so that he is out of harms way during the holiday festivities.

Toby - our young one is so jumpy and excitable, we have to keep him on a short leash if he goes outside to potty or a walk. Just the other day we had a thunder and lightning storm and every time he would hear the thunder he would jump and run aimlessly. We don't want to risk the possibility of losing him by him getting lost or running into the street and being in a dangerous situation.

If your pets need to go outside, make sure you have them (preferably) harnessed and watched carefully. I even carry treats so when he goes potty or for a short walk, if there is a loud noise or distraction I give him a treat to calm him down.
*Each pet is different and reacts different in certain situations. I can't stress enough to know how your dog will react in this time of Human celebrations. If you have a new dog and aren't sure how they will react - or even if you think they will be fine, my best advice is KEEP THEM INDOORS during July 4th events!*

Lastly, if you are planning family or friends gatherings for parties, bbq's, or other fun festivities and your pet will be joining the party, consider dressing them in something fun, fashionable, and protective.

A lot of people don't realize that dog clothes/pet apparel are not only great for keeping your pet warm when it's cold outside - but they are great for protecting them from the harmful rays of the sun! Many breeds such as Maltese, don't have an undercoat and can easily be sunburned. The same applies to many short haired dogs as exposed skin is at risk of being burned.

One of the latest crazes hitting the pet clothing market now is onesies for dogs. I have been making dog pajamas in the form of dog onesies for a couple years now and I've discovered a few things that I would like to share with you.

If you are looking to purchase dog onesies be sure you carefully measure your dog, otherwise neither the dog, nor you, will be happy with the way it fits. Nothing looks more adorable then to see your dog running around in cute little pajamas, or a complete outfit made in the form of a onesie. I have heard many customers state that many of the pajamas or onesies they bought for their dog didn't fit right or the dog's legs would slip out of the sleeves, a foot would get caught in the sleeve, etc.

When measuring your dog, be sure to get the correct sizes for the neck, chest, length, and girth - otherwise the length of the legs may not end up being right. For more information on how to get exact dog clothing measurements, visit http://www.whirlydogsupplies.com/measure-your-dog.html .

Visit our Etsy Shop Dog Onesies & Pajamas to see the most fun and the latest dog onesies and dog pajamas. We have a great selection to choose from in sizes ranging from extra small to small to medium.

It's still a little bit cool outside and when we take our dogs out for walks in the morning or evening, it can be too cold for many. Also, if you live in an area that has been bright and sunny you may want to keep an eye out, so your pet doesn't get sunburned. Many dogs such as short hairs, or dogs with no undercoats, such as Maltese, can be burned easily.

Whirly Dog Supplies' Spring and Summer 2015 collection of dog clothes will not only protect your dog from the weather, but the fun and stylish colors and designs will surely bring a smile to everyone's face.
